Blending a love of dancehall and rock-steady reggae rhythms with an aggressive punk ethos, Sublime amassed a nearly fanatical following across America, especially in the surf/skate communities. Their indie debut album is now considered a cult classic, spending nearly 70 weeks on Soundscan Alternative New Artist Albums Chart (more than half of that time in the Top 20). It hung out for 5 weeks on Billboard's Heatseeker chart and the edgy single, "Date Rape," was the #1 requested song for over 20 weeks in '95 on L.A.'s KROQ.
